Hi! Last friday i experienced some problems with my Atto3. After starting the car i had this notification, then it was blocked and i couldn’t re-start. I thought because of my latest car battery level of 23% the night before. Called the depannage/breakdown service. The problem was the start battery (accu) which was totally flat. After a traditional jump-start session, the car restarted. Surprisingly car battery level stayed 23% despite the cold temperature, so i could easily drive around to recharge the start battery that day. Afterwards no problem to start the car. However, another problem occured : all the steering wheel buttons just stopped working (cruise control, music volume, etc).
Made the appointment with the BYD service centre next week. Hope it will get fixed soon and no more problems afterwards, cos i really like the car and it’s just so unexpected to experience some problems (already) for a relatively new car. On the other hands, i read on the other EV forum in Belgium that apparantly this start battery problem occurs regularly with EV’s…
Last I heard from my buddy in Volvo. People have bought up all the remaining stocks for Volvo EV cars. People are snapping up luxury cars before service tax increase and luxury tax introduced.
Next batch of new Volvo cars have increased in prices and have quite long wait list.
Who said orang Malaysia poor, Volvo cars are not cheap man.
Not sure why they didn't use LFP as the starter battery instead of the old-style lead acid battery. Lead acid batteries have a very short lifespan. Probably to cut some costs.
BYD recently announced that it will stop using 12V lead-acid starting battery on its electric vehicles, which will be equipped with 12V LFP starting battery instead. BYD becomes the first carmaker in the world that applies LFP starting battery to all of its electric vehicles.
Compared with lead-acid battery, BYD's LFP starting battery has longer cycle life of over 3,000 cycle times, which almost equals the service life of the entire vehicle, against an average life of 2-3 years for lead-acid battery.
They are the first to announce that. Hope other EV makers do the same.
